Abstract

In this paper we report on the design and architecture of a single chip baseband processor IC for GSM/GPRS/EDGE cellular phone applications. S-GOLD is a mixed signal IC containing all analog and digital baseband functionality of a cellular radio. It is designed as a single chip solution, integrating the digital and mixed signal portions of the baseband in a leading edge 0.13 μm 1.5 V CMOS technology to meet the ever increasing demands of the GSM cellular subscriber market for feature rich and high performance terminals at low costs.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag berichten die Autoren über das Design und die Architektur eines Basisband-Prozessors für GSM/GPRS/EDGE-Mobiltelefone. S-GOLD ist ein mixed-Signal-IC, der sämtliche analogen und digitalen Basisbandfunktionen eines Mobiltelefons beinhaltet. Diese Einchip-Lösung ist in einer führenden 0,13-μm-1,5-V-CMOS-Technologie gefertigt, um den ständig wachsenden Anforderungen des GSM-Marktes fürch hoch performante Endgeräte kostengünstig gerecht zu werden.
